Select the correct text in the passage.

Which line in the poem shows the speaker changing his mind?
Fire and Ice
by Robert Frost
(Some say the world will end in fire),
Some say in ice.
(From what I’ve tasted of desire)
I hold with those who favor fire.
(But if it had to perish twice)
I think I know enough of hate
(To say that for destruction ice)

And would suffice.
